PHP, 4 chars − 15% − 20% = 2.72 2.6 points

Yes, PHP is a Turing-complete language. Nobody said I have to use any of its actual programming features. ;-)
Edit: Changed the score based on the clarification that bonuses are additive, not multiplicative.
TI BASIC 4 - 35% = 2.6
I might understand them wrong, but I think I am also eligible for the -15% and the -20% bonusses, meaning I have the lowest possible score.
I can write the program:
123i
which will output 123i
where i is of course the imaginary unit. When you remove the 1st and the 3rd character all that remains is 2i
which outputs 2i
Python - 95
Great challenge. I thought this was pretty clever, and actually a legit solution!
